Adventures in Coldness

So I was sitting in my office, minding my own business, when someone brings me a box...What could be in this box?



Rocks? What on Earth is this person doing with a box of brown gravel?



Well, what do you know? It's Diet Pepsi! a victim of the frigid temperature in Michigan!



I was curious about the red smudge on some of the Pepsi rocks. Until...



I found the culprit, and the survivors of a night in the trunk.

I just had to share this with you all.

Thanks for stopping by,
Now get back to work!!

Cold Enough For You Yeti?

So for the past week I've been freezing my tushie off... And that's a LOT of freezing... Badum bum.
The heater core on the van was clogged and the heater control valve went south last week, although we've not had heat for a couple months and the radiator went three weeks ago. I was able to pay for repairs on the valve but the core will have to wait since I was given a quote of over $300 for labor and I just don't have it. I now have partial heat, which is okay when its like 30-40 degrees F, outside, but when the temp has been in negative double digits, it makes not so much difference. my feet still get numb and I am wearing two pairs of pants and three shirts plus a sweater and jacket, two hats (with two hoods) and two pairs of gloves to drive around town. To top that off. the temp in my office is around 57 - 60 degrees F. so I leave on the sweater.

Been a knitting fool too. Finally got the KAL done:



and a couple of grandma's favorites as well as working on a craft project from Lion, a celtic themed trivet using icord. But since none of the stores around me had the 5 inch spool knitter, I just used my size 5 DPNs to do the job. will post final pic when complete.

Other than that I am just very tired and unusual for me but I have a headache today. I would really like to go lay down.
Hmm... maybe I will.
